Dominik Mysterio recently looked back at his father Rey’s Royal Rumble win in 2006. Dominik appeared on the Babyfaces Podcast and during the conversation, he professed that he’s a big fan of the Royal Rumble match. Dom named the 2006 Rumble as one of his favorites despite his “deadbeat dad” winning the match.

“Dude, I love the Rumble,” Dominik said (per Fightful). “It’s one of those things where you really never know who’s going to come out next. So it really is a surprise. But for me, one of my favorite Rumbles is when my deadbeat dad unfortunately won. I thought I was a big Randy Orton guy. So I thought Randy was going to take it. Then deadbeat just comes in and ruins it.”

He continued, “But shout out to Triple H too, pulling him out, being a sore loser, throwing him against the steps. I thought that was pretty cool. I was like, all right, this is a done deal. Randy’s got it in the bag. No. But anyways, I’m excited for the Rumble, man. The Rumble has always been one of my favorite pay-per-views of all time, for sure.”

No word as of yet on whether Dirty Dom will be in this year’s men’s Rumble.
